Samsung has recently launched its brand new Galaxy S10 lineup of smartphones, and they are pretty damn good. The Galaxy S10 comes with the brand new punch-hole display, reverse wireless charging, triple rear cameras (including an ultra-wide lens), and is feature packed to boot. So, if you’ve just pre-ordered your Galaxy S10, chances are you’re looking for a case to protect the glass back and the expansive display of your brand new smartphone, and if you’re worried about finding the best one to suit your needs, here are 10 best Galaxy S10 cases that you can buy:
1. Samsung LED Back Cover
If you’re looking to completely buy into Samsung’s world with your S10, you might want to consider a Samsung case for your phone as well, and fortunately, Samsung makes a whole bunch of covers for the Galaxy S10. The LED Back cover that we’re featuring here is especially cool, because it does a lot more than just protect your phone. The cover uses LEDs on the back that illuminate when a notification comes in, plus you can use the built in icon editor to use custom icons for events, and even assign icons to specific contacts.
What’s more, the case uses a shell-type design to ensure complete protection for your phone, along with a fabric-like material for added grip. The case even uses a sensor to set the LEDs’ brightness depending on the amount of battery left in your phone so you can rest assured it’s not destroying your smartphone’s battery backup.
Apart from the LED Back Cover, you can also check out the S-View Flip Cover ($59.99) that lets you view your notifications and interact with them, even with the cover closed. There’s also the Leather Back Cover ($49.99), the Rugged Protective Cover (not yet available to pre-order), and the Silicone Cover for those who like to keep it simple ($29.99).

2. Spigen Liquid Air Armor Case
If you’re looking to slap a case on your brand new S10 that doesn’t add a lot of bulk to your gorgeous smartphone, but that will still protect it from your clumsy handling of it, the Spigen Liquid Air Armor is one you should consider. The case has a light frame so as to not add a lot of weight to your phone, and it’s also shock absorbent to ensure that your phone doesn’t get harmed if you accidentally drop it. The case also looks good, thanks to the minimal geometric pattern on the back, along with the matte finish that ensures that the case doesn’t get smudgy. What’s more, the Spigen Liquid Armor case is compatible with wireless charging, which is great since you don’t have to take it off just to charge your phone at Starbucks anymore.

The case features a tough military grade drop protection rating to protect your phone from drops, and it comes with reinforced corners (both on the inside and out) to provide added protection to those highly vulnerable points on your phone. The case features anti-cling dot matrix design that prevents light from diffracting and creating that weird rainbow color on the case. Instead, you’ll be able to get a clear look at your phone without any hassle. The Ringke Fusion is also compatible with wireless charging, so you don’t have to worry about that, and it comes with a raised lip design, so you can confidently place your phone face down… if that’s something you want to do.
